Funny but true fact; (married) Chinese men are NOT allowed to own a sport car here in China. Okay by law however both families could disgrace him for being associated to the playboy type.
In the men Porsche category, only Cayenne sadly. Very rarely you will see a guy driving a Boxster 1-on-25 maybe, only women (and me!) drives Boxsters, Crocs or 911s here

Now THAT is ironic. The average Boxster owner here in the U.S. is a middle-aged to senior citizen male. One whose playboying days are well behind him. Younger drivers in their 20's really don't have the discretionary income to purchase or maintain an impractical car like the Boxster. Once they move up the income ladder in their 30's and early 40's and are starting families the Boxster's lack of a back seat make buying a Carrera the more acceptable option for the wife as you can at least fit a couple of kids in the back. So at the end of the day most Porsches are owned by pretty traditional family men. And by and large the average American woman avoids a manual transmission car and opts for an automatic transmission SUV, a Range Rover being her dream car.
